Because being in a relationship means there's a higher probability of the person "having rizz", making it easier for them to move onto a new relationship, while being single for a while biases the sample towards people that are ~~toxic~~ single for a good reason.

if this observation is even accurate then an alternative explanation is just that people in relationships are more used to being emotionally available, more recently have practiced "relationshipping", and have a larger social circle.
